The Briar Patch

(Or How My Legs Got This Way) Bre’r Rabbit had his briar patch A lovely place but there’s a catch The briars and brambles cut and scratch And it was there I met my match We downed a model airplane there It simply fell out of the air We ventured in with utmost care For it had landed who knows where The briars and brambles had no path They grabbed our legs with fervent wrath And gave our legs a real bloodbath Now you can see the aftermath Mdailey 6/7/11 If I could post a picture you would see bloody scratches all over my lower legs. With my chemo, I don't heal as fast as I used to. My doctor said to stay out of the briars as my blood will not clot very fast and I could lose a lot of blood. Duh!
